My phone has no CWM installed. Can I still install this from the sd card?

It has the vodafone version of ICS installed and is not rooted. At the moment for some reason my phone has stopped booting up at all. It just gets to the vodafone screen and then hangs. I'm hoping there is a way I can boot it from the SD card, but it's not clear to me if I can do that without having first installed CWM. Now that I can't get it to boot it's too late to install CWM.

If I hold the volume down key will that allow me to boot from the SD card?

The original update doesn't seem to be available on Huaweii website at the moment. I'm on a very slow connection, with regular power interruptions, so would love to find an FTP site to download from if anyone can help.

I'm downloading this file and it has an hour left to go. Hope I'm not downloading it for nothing.

As I've said elsewhere first try booting with Volume-UP and Power button. If it gets to the Vodafone logo you haven't held Volume-UP for long enough. Remember to pull battery for 5 seconds first. When you do this do you see the recovery menu? If not then what do you see?

EDIT: And no, this repack from this thread will do you no good as you do not have CWM Recovery installed. You hopefully still have stock recovery though.

Repacked roms are typically repacked to flash using cwm.

You can how ever flash update.app roms, but you are probably going to have to use either the middle package or imei hack to do so
